she is such a funny teacher. the reason for it being that she seems to be 'out of it' most of the time. i dont wanna be mean but i guess shes like that cuz shes gettin old. but thats y i think shes hilarious. i always laugh in her class. shes such a cool teacher too. her class is boring and a waste of time to a point that i never really considered it a class. her assignments are easy but time consuming. i recommend her to others (especially fluent japanese speakers).

Fall 2024 - I really liked this class!! Nogami Sensei is very understanding, and I believe wants you to succeed. I think that if you are taking this class, you should expect a challenge -- the grading for participation can be rigorous, because you have to answer correctly in order to get credit towards your grade. This can be difficult during advanced reading sections, but it keeps you on your toes. Luckily, this is a very small portion of your overall grade. Homework, however, is the strong majority of your grade, so take it seriously! There are only ~3-4 assignments that are based off the readings. The take-home final is the same format as the homework, so it is expectable and fair. I loved the content that Nogami Sensei chose to lecture on, and felt that her textual choices were tasteful and relevant to the modern day Japanese society. I felt as though I learned a lot culturally about Japanese society that I otherwise wouldn't have had I not taken this class. Overall, this class was quite challenging, but rewarding! 頑張って！
